News Facts

NorthWest Shopping Center and Intellium Technologies are located in Auckland, New Zealand. NorthWest is the flagship of the new Westgate Town Center, the largest transformation project in the country and recognized as a next-generation shopping destination.

Customer behavior is changing profoundly due to the ways technology is being used as part of the shopping experience. In the United States, 82% of smartphone users turn to their phones to make a purchase decision while in stores.*

Retailers are using Wi-Fi for more than just connectivity, and are taking advantage of technology to build loyalty, understand shopper behavior and increase sales.

"We were looking to provide point of differentiation by deploying state of the art technology to deliver unrivalled facilities to retailers and an enhanced shopping experience for customers in store," stated Linh Luong, senior marketing manager, Stride Property. "Through data analytics, we were able to capture data on how shoppers spend their time and where they visit. We learned from the reports that 52% of our shoppers are visiting us for the first time, which reveals we still have room for marketing growth."

"Intellium and Aerohive both have a track record of delivering projects that meet the highest expectations of the customer," said Mark Taylor, sales director, Intellium. "The retail data insights offered from Aerohive reflect the extra value we are able to offer to customers. This insight into consumer behavior and business intelligence from Aerohive is one of the reasons wireless networking is now our fastest growing product suite at Intellium."
